im guessing he meant that those 3 maps will get  boring after a while cuz server is low on people quite often

Well then maybe everyone should do their part and ensure that the server is full more often

This is a huge update, thanks!

 

Maybe include 1 more map in the small map pool? I had 3 maps to vote for when the server was low pop, which is maybe a little bit tight?

The point of this is that they are the smallest maps by a long way. There aren't really any other small maps. When the server population is low, playing on larger maps is boring as hell because there is such little action.

Sorry, my English is not good

When the screen shot gets black or when the player leaves the game when taking SS, it means the SS has been blocked

 

I can not believe that you do not know anything about the screen shot blocker.

 

I actually made a post about this on the private Admin section of the forum as half of the hackers I encounter leave the game due to their ban protection. Unfortunately there isn't really anything we can do about that because unless we have proof we can't ban. Look on the positive side though, when their hacks make them leave the game, they don't come back as they know their cover is blown, which is almost as good as a ban.

It's animation canceling with weaponswitch bind and at this point it is a part of the game. Feel free to use it too. 

For the m14 recoil part just take a look at the attached demo. Note that this is after playing with it for about 30 seconds, if I actually played with m14 there would be no noticeable recoil at all. I didn't bother with AK because that gun has no recoil whatsoever. Also it's not even remotely random.

How do I animation cancel then so that I can shoot immediately after sprinting? I just tried setting it up but couldn't get it working.

Scroll shooting/Macro/Script shooting isn't allowed, Now if you made a bind that made you shoot while running then that's against the rules because that's way to unfair, The weaponswitch bind only cancels the reload time but even that doesn't work sometimes on the HC server as it still makes you reload which is why I don't have a problem with that bind as it doesn't give any unfairness to others.

 

That isn't what he is doing though. He is literally sprinting, and then instantly shooting. Usually there is that cooldown period where you cannot shoot, it is like 0.5-1 seconds long, but with whatever binds he is using he is instantly shooting. This means he can sprint around corners and have an insane advantage because he can instantly shoot, as if he wasn't actually sprinting.

The AK has sideways recoil too. He had no sideways recoil in the demo. The M14 also has a hell of a lot more recoil and kick to it than displayed in the demo.

 

Also, good to know that binds are completely fine to use. I'm just gonna go get a bunch of binds set up now that allow me to shoot when I'm sprinting.

 

The whole "anyone can do it so it is fine" argument is kind of poor imo. If I remember correctly, scroll shooting is against the rules. Are you telling me that not everyone can scroll shoot? Are you telling me that not everyone can get hacks? I'm sure you see the flaw in this reasoning now...

 

Did you not notice how when he shot his AK, it had almost no recoil? What about the times he rapid fired his M14 and it had almost no recoil? You can't control the recoil in cod4 that well as the recoil is random each time, so you can't control it the same way you can in games like CSGO. Also, how on Earth is he strafe jumping perfectly every single time? He even strafe jumps sideways whilst aiming down sights and shooting at someone. You're telling me he's doing that legit without the use of a macro or mod? So many keystrokes he has to do and he never puts a finger wrong. Way too unbelievable.

 

I even tried asking him how he jumps like that and he straight up ignores me, because he knows there is no legitimate answer to it.

dont think there is anything wrong with it except for his fireing what looks like macro/scroll. the sliding etc is due to the higher speed of the server i think.

I've never seen anyone slide like that before, not that consistently. I've seen one or two of the top player slide and turn in mid air like that once or twice before, but not like that. The way he launches himself, the way he has no recoil, etc, and the thing you pick up on is the fact that he fires fast lol? I would say his shooting is possibly the only legit thing about him.

Just added new link. There is something wrong with the website and uploading files. The file I select in the file browser is .dm_1, but when it appears in my post, it changes.

Please describe what happened: 

Look at the way he moves. Every single time he jumps it is a perfect strafe jump. He absolutely launches hmiself forward at unbelievable speeds every single time. Also look out for his lack of recoil. He empties an entire round of M14 ammo in to the helicopter and his red dot hardly moves. His AK also has no recoil, even though it usually has quite a lot. His AK has no sideways recoil, and he perfectly controls the recoil every single time, despite that being impossible as CoD4 recoil is random and volatile. I will have to get his PID next time I see him in game (probably tomorrow).

I've just played a few games with the shop system and I really don't like it so far. It makes it feel less rewarding when you go on a large killstreaks, and also helps out the bad players way too much.

 

Oh you just got a helicopter? Nah too bad, that player at the bottom of the scoreboard that is 12-45 that has been saving all his points all game just destroyed it with Fighter Support. It's a step in the right direction as far as making Fighter Support more useful, but it makes the game so much less rewarding if you're a skilled player. There is no penalty for dying either. Maybe if you lost money when you died (like $30), it would be a bit better, because then even the bad players wouldn't be able to insta-counter the stuff that you buy, as they wouldn't have much money unless they managed to string a couple of kills together.

 

Saying that, I still much prefer killstreaks. Bad players benefit too much from it, and it lessens the impact that good players have on the game. Whilst I get the whole "balancing the playing field" thing it has, it is not a great idea to tell the good players that being good isn't nearly as much of an advantage as it was anymore. It feels like playing a game of football and winning, but the losing team still gets points because they scored a goal. It's just way too much of a change and not what I had in mind at all when I made this post. 

So over the last couple of days, I have seen people getting the full range of killcount rewards - myself included. I want to outline my reasons as to why I think they are unbelievably unbalanced and broken.

 

The killstreaks and their issues:

 

UAV Jammer - Completely fine.

 

Airstrike - Somewhat fine, but really inconsistent. There have been times that I have walked right through an enemy airstrike and not been touched, but other times when I am hiding underground and died instantly. 

 

Artillery - Same as above, but slightly worse as the explosion radius seems larger. 

 

Predator missile - Mostly fine, but there is a massive red "KILL" sign above everyones head, meaning you cannot hide from it, even with UAV Jammer.

 

Shoot Down Heli - Not sure what it is called, but it is the thing at 12 killstreak that can shoot down enemy choppers. This is the only single counter in the game to the rest of the killstreaks from here on out. 

 

Helicopter - Mostly fine. The only issue is that it counts towards your killcount. This means that in larger games, once you call it in, you can just sit in a corner hiding, and let the helicopter do the work for you. This is a massive problem because as soon as you get the helicopter, it is unbelievably easy to just go straight to a nuke. 

 

Drone Strike - Same issues as Predator Missile, except multiple times over because you get multiple predator missiles to shoot. 

 

AC130 - Same as above. You cannot escape the blasts because the blast radius is huge, meaning even if you hide underground our deep inside a building, you will still die. There is also the huge red "KILL" sign above everyones head, meaning there is 0 counter to this killstreak.

 

Piloted Heli - One of the worst. It lasts for what seems like forever. It also has an unbelievably high healthbar. An entire team has to suicide many times over just to shoot it down. The piloted heli can also go through buildings and the ground, meaning it cannot be shot down. It also does not take damage when it collides with things.

 

Nuke - Completely fine. The only grudge I have against it is the radiation afterwards. Is it not enough to make the entire game BLIND, but you also die a few more times due to unavoidable radiation? It's just adding insult to injury. 

 

My solutions for the above issues:

 

UAV Jammer - N/A

 

Airstrike - Balance out the explosions. I shouldn't die if I am underground, and I should die if I am outside walking through it. 

 

Artillery - Same as above, except artillery should be slightly more powerful than airstrike. However, I still should not die if I am underground on maps like Backlot, Pipeline, and whatever other maps there are that have underground sections.

 

Predator missile - There should be massive "KILL" signs for people that have UAV Jammer on. Again, it needs counter play.

 

Shoot Down Heli - Seems completely pointless to have this so high. If you are on a 12 killstreak, chances are that the enemy team are nowhere close to getting a 15 killstreak for the helicopter. It either needs to be replaced with something more useful, like an EMP that lasts for a minute or so, which would kill all electronics on the map (UAV, predator strike, airstrike, literally everything apart from players, just like it does in MW2 onwards). Another solution is to lower the killstreak needed to acquire this "shoot down heli" perk. If your team is getting terrorised by all of the helicopter killstreaks, there is no way you are getting to 12 kills to be able to counter them. It could also just be removed outright, but I think the EMP is a much better solution.  

 

Helicopter - This should just not add to killstreak. None of the other killstreak rewards count towards your killcount, so why does the helicopter? Another solution is to make it so that the helicopter cannot target people with UAV Jammer, just like in later MW2 games. Both solutions should be combined in to one, so that the heli does not count towards your killcount, and it also cannot see people with UAV Jammer.

 

Drone Strike - Should not have a massive "KILL" sign above your head if you have UAV Jammer. Everything else is fine really, it's just the severe lack of counterplay to it. 

 

AC130 - Same as above.

 

Piloted Heli - Lasts WAY too long, and has WAY too much HP. Lasting so long is not too much of an issue, my main gripe with it is the fact that I could stand there and empty 10 mags of RPD ammo in to it, and it would be fine. It should also take damage if it hits in to buildings and other solid objects. 

 

Nuke - Radiation is just overkill. Everyone already died once, why do they have to die 2-3 times more, be blind, and have no chance of escape. It's just unnecessary, especially when there are no killstreaks after it. It could also be that the Nuke just ends the game like it did in MW2, so that the user of the nuke wins the game for their team. 

 

 

When I get home from lectures I will go through the demo so I can find the clip and record it and then upload it to the player reports. I couldn't shoot him no matter what. I tried shooting all around him but nothing happened. You'll see in the video I upload later.

It is super bugged out right now. SancheJloo just abused the hell out of it and camped on it all game, and went like 41-1 because no one could hit him. Idk how the glitch works, but @Biohazzard said it was a known glitch. I have the demo of him abusing it, but the demo is like 3 games long (as I record all of my games now to prove innocence if needed). If you can skip forward through games quickly, then I will upload it, but if not, then I will have to sit through like 35 odd minutes of gameplay to get to it so that it can be recorded. Either way, the glitch makes people invincible. It either needs to be fixed, or that turret needs to just be removed. 

I really don't think that "he has experience" is valid enough. He based his ban on intuition, rather than 100% solid proof? Is someone who gets a random wallbang 100% wallhacking? Of course not. You would continue to watch them and see if they do it consistently. If they consistently get "random" wallbangs, then you have sufficient reasoning that they are wallhacking. You wouldn't ban them because they got a single lucky wallbang, so why ban someone for firing 6 bullets quickly?

 

I'm not starting anything, I just want to know the logic behind his decision. 

 

Also, if scroll shooting is such a problem, why not just limit the maximum rate of fire on semi-automatic weapons? Seems like the logical thing to do rather than just ban people for things that cannot be proven.

 

Edit - Download demo clip of me shooting (it will auto download when you open the link) - https://a.uguu.se/LOvs0JLvY4yj_rateoffire.dm_1 . This is pretty much the fastest I can shoot, so this is roughly as fast as I was shooting when Wolfman banned me. I shot a single clip of that M21 and then was banned. 

I still have absolutely no idea how you can just ban someone for shooting fast? I shoot fast all the time. What am I meant to do? Limit my rate of fire just to appease people who think I am cheating? I would just like an explanation as to how you can possibly ban someone just for shooting quickly? If you watched for me any prolonged period of time rather than just that one single instance, you would see that my rate of fire changes and is inconsistent. I also showed you my config file. I have no idea what more you want from me. 

 

Edit:

(Also, I was not starting an argument. I just think it is plain wrong that you judge me based on SIX BULLETS that I fired. You didn't even watch me for longer than that. You saw me fire an single clip of M21 bullets and banned me because of it. I just don't know how you can justify banning someone for scroll shooting solely off of 1 clip of ammo.)

 

Also: "You never had problems with it before because there was no admin watching you" - I'm not talking about just admins. Not a single player on the server has ever accused me of scroll shooting. I never see anyone ever accuse people of it. Not to mention it is just unbelievably hard to prove.

What happend:
So I called someone a "pussy" twice as they were camping. I was kicked for "swearing". Whatever, I got over it. I then said to Wolfman, "whatever, I guess we have different opinions on what constitutes as swearing". He said something along the lines of "yes we do".

 

I then fired a round of M21 bullets through a wall, and was then banned for 24 hours for "scroll shooting abuse" or something along those lines. I was banned because I can click fast? What the hell is this? I believe Wolfman banned me because I argued with him and didn't like that I was kicked for something I did not believe was kick-worthy. I would like to see some evidence of me "scroll shooting" or I would like to be unbanned please. This is completely unfair.

 

I've played on this server for a very long time now, and not ONCE has anyone claimed that I was scroll shooting, but all of a sudden, I have this argument with Wolfman and I get instantly banned without anyone mentioning it? I think he was just looking for a way to flex his mod powers. Completely unfair. I cannot upload proof, as I do not have access to chatlogs, and I was banned without warning. I am assuming you can check these chatlogs yourselves. However I included a screenshot of the ban message I received.

 

Edit - I should also mention that after I rejoined the server, I said "Lol, kicked for swearing in an 18+ game". Wolfman then replied with "try me". I am quite confident that this is not how a moderator, or admin, or whatever rank he holds, should be talking. It clearly shows that he is very ban happy and has his judgement skewed by petty arguments that he has with players.

 

Another edit - I have a video here - https://gfycat.com/ImmaculateDisgustingBluetickcoonhound. This clearly shows my config file has not been touched since the 11th October, which was when I downloaded the game on to my new computer. As you can see, there is no scroll shooting keybind in the config file, further evidencing my legitimacy.
